I try to say as quickly into their "speil" as possible before they can hang up, "Please put me on your do-not-call list." My son worked for MBNA (against our advice) and informed us that that is the wording to use that they have to "obey." He ended up hating his job, thus giving us some credibility in his 17 year old mind. We have also told callers that we make no purchases over the phone. If we want it, we'll go search it out ourselves.

I asked to be put on a do not call list when a telemarketer called. She responded that I had to call the direct marketing association. I told her I have already called that quite a few times and demanded she put me on the do not call list. We went round and round and I said, "Look, I'm unemployed with tons of time on my hand. Call me again and I'm taking your company to court to collect my automatic judgement."

I haven't heard from them since.
